Does anyone know if it's okay for owls to eat popcorn?

but don't owls eat mice and stuff whole? if they can deal with bones, should kernels be a problem? i guess they've got to cough those up, though.

leonora's never tried to eat popcorn.

TRUE TRUE TRUE. I love the way they eat. Does she choke down the popcorn pieces whole like a mouse?

[peanutbuttercup]

I dunno. I didn't actually catch her in the act. She just has a guilty look on her face and the popcorn's missing.

I'm sorry dude, but this really did make me laugh.

[peanutbuttercup]

Now that I'm pretty sure she's not going to die, it is kind of funny.

Poor bird.

[peanutbuttercup]

The real tragedy is I'm not going to let her eat any more and she wants it so much.

[thecourtier.insanejournal.com]

Oh man, I can imagine her giving you the sad eye all the way from here.

[peanutbuttercup]

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. They have robust digestive systems, right? Not like pigeons. Anything can kill a pigeon.

if you're worried, why don't you ask mrs. o'hare? i bet she knows. and if she shouldn't eat popcorn, mrs. o'hare can probably give her emergency owl surgery or something.

God, I hope she doesn't need owl surgery. That's too much excitement for a Saturday night.
